Description

`ReconnectPeerProtocol` gets stuck in synchronization. The other node sees a timeout exception and tries to reset the connection.
`InboundConnectionManager.newConnection()` calls `disconnect()` on the existing connection and closes the socket. That, however, has no effect on the stuck `SyncProtocolWithN` thread so no new protocol can run. The other node again sees a timeout exception in `VersionCompareHandshake.runProtocol()` and goes in a loop attempting to create a new connection.

In cases like this, the `SyncProtocolWithN` thread should be explicitly interrupted (or killed and restarted) to ensure a new connection can be established.
